Monthly Folding Challenge - March 2010

Argil, you need a link with a picture extension behind it (like .jpg , .png, .bmp etc.)

If you Right-Click your image and click properties, you should get a screen like that looks like this:
http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/4356/helpfe.jpg

At Location there is a link, that is the link to your picture and that one should work if you copy the whole link between the image tags

Hope that helps! (Nice work btw)

Edit: I see you have the right link, it did not show before for me, but now it does. Maybe removing the "url" tags may work. Weird

The French forum doesn't allow direct linking. You need to upload them elsewhere to show them here.
Some options may be http://imageshack.us or http://flickr.com
Both are free picture hosting services.

Cherry Blossom (For Sakura tree)

due to the lightning the first one does look yellowish ;//

the second one doesn't look very natural due to its size.

I think we're going to fold a lot of it and make a small sakura tree ^^

Those are my origami Carnivorous Plants: Venus trap 01 and 02. They have made with 45cmx45cm pieces of foil tissue. The first one was made with one side green and the other side red, the second one was made with a single green foil tissue.

There is a little difference between the crease patterns, however they obey the same principle.

And that is my Venus Trap 03 with a flower and a branch. It was made with a tissue-foil-tissue square, no cut, no glue and no tape.

Hydraulic Origami

How do you make a flower bloom ? ? ?

---- You give it some water ! ! !

This is what I had in mind for this model from the start but I wasn't sure if I could make it work.

I think that this is something a little special.

Folded from a single square . . . of CELLOPHANE
Yep - that thin clear flimsy stuff you wrap flowers with

The color is created by rotating the clear cellophane between polarized filters:
